Dear son, when you grow up …
Everything you have to say to your child, you can write it in the form of a letter and show the love you feel.
The children will grow and spread their wings and when that happens they will have to be aware of a few things . Things that you will have to convey to yourself with all your love so that they understand that life has to be lived and that sometimes there may be circumstances that make them feel discouraged but that they should never feel less valuable for it.
Therefore, everything you have to say to your child , you can write it in the form of a letter, so that when he is a bit older he can read it and understand that he can achieve everything he sets out to do in life, even if he meets with obstacles that make it difficult for them.

LETTER TO A SON
I want you to know what you make of this life, I am very proud of you. There is nothing you can do to make my love turn off or end. No matter what choices you make, I will always be your biggest fan. I will always be here for every phone call and for every time you need a reminder of how important you are .
It is time for you to spread your wings. I wrote this letter for the difficult days, for those in which you wonder if you are the only one and if you are alone. Let me assure you that all the mistakes you are about to make have been made, and probably most of them were made by me too. Don’t judge yourself severely my love ; spread your wings, trust yourself and keep flying towards the dreams that make your soul come alive.
There will be tough and terrible days, but there will also be wild and wonderful days filled with more joy than you ever thought possible. One of those days for me was the day I had you, my love. There is no greater honor or joy in my life than being your mother.
- You will make mistakes – we all do . Most likely, you will commit many more than you imagine. Sometimes you will fail and feel bad. But failure is never failure … it is learning.
- Money can be tight – you will make it. You will have moments in your life when money is not left over in your life but that does not have to make you feel bad. With struggle and work you will say that there are things more important than money and that although everything becomes difficult with determination, great things are achieved. No matter how broke you are, you can laugh; you can hug those you love; and you can strategize and dream … because trust me, it won’t always be like this.
- Sometimes you will be your worst self: everyone has days like this. Some days I have been angry. I’ve screamed when I should have been nicer. I lost my temper and felt shame cover me like a blanket that was too hot and rough. I wanted to hide because I did not think that I would be able to be the woman that I should be. On days like this, you will find humility and an apology to be very helpful. Remember: bad days don’t define you, and they never will. You will rise from the well; You’ll shake off that rough blanket and find that you’re enough You are enough, not because you are perfect, but because you are sufficient exactly as you are.
- You will be misunderstood: your heart will heal. I’ve had days when I thought I was doing the right thing, but the right thing made other people angry and feel like I was hurting them. I still don’t know if I made all the good calls, probably not, but I was trying my best. Sometimes you will be accused of things that stab at the core of who you are. These times will be very painful. Ask people who know and love you to support you.
- You will doubt yourself – that’s normal and okay . I have had days when I felt like a girl playing house. You will have those days too. Courage is not feeling brave, it is feeling fear and looking straight at it.
- You will have days when you will fall apart: it will not stay that way. It’s okay to fall apart: it’s not forever. I’ve drowned in anxiety and so has your dad. Just remember that everything is temporary and the sun will shine again. The first step to improve is to speak.
Despite the possible mistakes that I could make in your upbringing, I want you to know that every day of my life I have loved you and I will love you forever.
